There is traces of engine oil in the radiator. When I changed oil and filter, the filter had mixture of coolant/oil, the oil pan had green anti freeze in it. The car hesitates upon first start, after about two or three miles everything runs smooth. It is a C55 and the coolant is emptying out every two or three days. The automatic oil check is out of order.
